Tucannon Guard Station

We have stayed here multiple times and each time has been pleasant. I haven’t had trouble getting into the cabin, follow the directions like this website states and call the Pomeroy Ranger District prior to your stay. The fact that we’re “camping”, have HOT running potable water, electricity, and we’re warm and dry is a real treat. There is a queen-sized bed, a twin, and a bunk bed. The futon downstairs is comfortable too. I like to take queen/twin fitted sheets from home to put under our sleeping bags to make it feel more like home. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, pots, and pans. The fridge, freezer, stove burners, and oven all worked well. There are a couple space heaters to take the edge off if needed and even a microwave to spoil you. As for the cleanliness of the cabin, that is all dependent on the renters prior to your arrival. My recommendation is to leave how you would want to find it. This cabin is unique and full of character. The living room has lots of windows to enjoy the view and that warmed up cup of joe. There are two covered porches, the front porch has chairs for relaxing. The large yard with fire ring and two picnic tables is perfect for kids and dogs. There is plenty of parking and a short walk across the yard to the cabin. Several camping sites and a vault toilet are located nearby.

Cute little cabin, no AC, lots of screened windows and fans. The heaters work great. Charming kitchen, lots of pots, pans, cooking trays, cooking utensils, plates , cups, well stocked. The stairs are a doozy, watch that last one or you'll tumble at 3am like I did 😁😂.

There is another campsite next to it, but fairly secluded. What I love the most is while the core of engineer campgrounds haven't been allowing us to have fires. We were encouraged by the ranger to have a fire and to burn dead wood and leaves and other stuff we found in the fire ring.

The living room cabinet has lots of games in case you get bored or just want to have fun with the fam and friends.

Once inside the Guard Station (a long story on gaining access) it was nicely furnished and we found everything okay and working. I did not know there was a microwave already in the Guard Station as we had brought one up since the amenities shown on the website for this rental did not list a microwave. The area around the Guard Station is very pleasant. However, we had some rude campers across the road from us who decided to play their loud music all day long and didn't stop until after midnight. I had to use earplugs to sleep. I found this very annoying. The hot water takes a while to get through the system to the bathroom so be patient. There was some minor garbage I found around the Guard Station from previous occupants which I picked up. My wife said that the Guard Station was not as clean as it should have been when we used it. It looked like it was not swept out from the last occupants. The stove backing was dirty, but hard to know who left it like that. The beds very fairly comfortable. Ample pots and cooking ware. The lighting was excellent for reading and playing game. I liked the map board cupboard.

The code was changed before we got there and so we missed a night, but we loved the cabin. Very cozy, neat, and we appreciated the creature comforts of bathroom, electricity, and cooking facilities while being out in the forest.

My family and I make this a yearly vacation. We’ve enjoyed the Guard Station the past 5 falls. We were a bit disappointed though this year. The refrigerator leaked and soaked our food, and the stove (two burners) did not work.

bring own mattress covers as none are on the beds.

we love this cabin. our second time there and it was just as great as the first time. the fishing for the family is so awesome!

Amazing little house. Normally I tent it, but this little treat spoiled us rotten. It actually is pretty clean for a clean it before you leave. Very comfy. I will be getting spoiled again soon. I would highly recommend this to anyone. My family enjoyed it very much. Thank you for blessing us.

Good fishing and great weather. The cabin was stocked with the comforts if home. We would definitely be interested in renting it again.

Cabin was v. comfortable and much less rustic than our usual cabin stays.
